Bühler Ecoline DS: Next-generation die casting for unmatched efficiency

Bühler provides solutions for aluminium and magnesium die-casting tailored for foundries to increase productivity and efficiency. Bühler manufactures advanced die-casting machines with locking forces ranging from 3,400 to 92,000 kN. From a single machine to a fully integrated die-casting cell, Bühler offers customised solutions engineered to meet precise production needs. Focused on availability, cycle time, and quality production, these solutions are used to produce demanding components across various applications worldwide.

Bühler recently launched the improved Ecoline DS die-casting machines, which is raising the bar for the manufacturing of magnesium and aluminium parts. The Ecoline DS series is a reliable cold-chamber die-casting system with locking forces ranging from 3400 to 9000 kN. It is specifically designed for the automotive industry but is also applicable to other industries. This machine series, which was created especially to satisfy the high standards of contemporary die casting, combines Bühler's well-known quality and dependability with state-of-the-art digital services.

The Ecoline DS, which was developed to meet changing automotive demands, is ideal for sectors with strict quality standards and financial constraints since it maximises uptime, cuts cycle times by up to 40 per cent, and nearly eliminates scrap. The 3-platen locking system ensures rapid, equal force distribution, a high-speed toggle mechanism, and steady operation with less downtime is encouraged by Bühler's unique thread design on tie bars. The injection unit's sophisticated proportional technology guarantees accurate die-filling, which is further improved by optimisation algorithms and regenerative hydraulics to lessen air entrapment and conserve energy.
 
Bühler Insights, a platform that facilitates real-time monitoring, downtime analysis, and performance tracking, lies at the heart of the Ecoline DS's digital ecosystem. Thanks to the die-casting dashboard, production teams can swiftly determine each cell's performance.  
 
With dependable, secure digital solutions that optimise uptime and efficiency, Bühler guarantees that clients stay ahead in a connected and data-driven world. The Ecoline DS is more than just a machine; it's a progressive investment that enhances die casting with accuracy, efficiency, and digital skill.
